Mr.. ii. ii. Campbell, the proprietor
OF this ranch, affords his boys every
compatible opportunity for self-im.
provement and self-eleYation. He fur
nishes them with newspapers and
periodicals to enable them to improve
their education and to inform them

sets an example to them of kindness to
each other. The consequence is that
the boys are gentlemanly in their

charge OF even m saemeanor against
anyone while employed upon this ranch.
Their quarters are ample, comfortable,
and neat. Their dlning-room. and
kitchen are furnished with all the con.
veniences Of a small hotel, and present

surmount the residence are striking
and instructive. It is.situated near the
foot of an elevated plain, which gradu--

vine, and is surrounded by subdued and
picturesque elevations, in the distance.

forms deep rocky precipice, a few:
yards from the house.. Across, the

which transforms the springs into a.
clear pool or fountain with solid rock
bottom, and which covers nealy half:
an acre. This, fountain is as limpid.
and transparent as the waters, of Cas-

large spring the water is conveyed by
pipes, to a dairy-house arranged with
every convenience, thence it is raised
by hydraulic ram into, a tall and spa-
cious reservoir, from which it can be
readily thrown upon the house in the.

and distributed to the kitchen, bath
rooms, and throughout the house,
thence to the different shops and the
quarters of the cowboys. The stream
is then gathered up at the foot of the
plains below. and made to; irritgate
a large vegetable garden. There
is a large warehouse for storing the
commissary supplies of the ranch, from
which the rations of the employees are
weighed and distributed with military
regularity. There is an ample and
well-supplied smith s-shop, a large
wood shop, and a complete harness
shop, where every part of a wagon OF
harness is readily mended and repair
ed. There is store well supplied with
all kinds of clothing needed by the en-
ployes, and a frst-class boot and shoe
makers establishment. Here, too, is a
postoffice, which furnishes all the pos
tai facilities required and through
which the employees are supplied with
whatever they may desire.
